A MOST important asset of a hunter is reading body language.

There are animals you can tell are in a full charge 40 yards away. Others are confused as what to do themselves!! These last ones are the ones that KILL you.

One thing about these last ones is that a shot (over the head or a non lethal hit in chest or head) may turn them away (more often with elephant than buffalo).

I have a lot of experience with buffalo, and can pretty much tell what is real from what is not (yes I am smart enough to know I can still easily fail).

Hunted elephants twice in Chewore and bowhunted (stalked) a lot in the Save Conservancy (Humani) so I have far less (actually very very little) experience. But felt ele are a bit more difficult to read than buffalo.

Dont know about lion, but if they come they look mighty fast!! Sullivan almost certainly would not be here if he would tease lions to make videos.
